Mrs. Cleveland's Good Heart.

During the past week Mrs. Cleve-
land has seen u large number of per-
sons by special appointment. strangers
in the city for whom their friends inn
portuned this honor. Few persons in
making this request realize the almost
incessent demands of the same nature
which come TO Mrs. Cleveland day
after day. and to all of which she &C
cedes if possible. When asked by
friend which plan she found most
agreeable-that of receiving on two
mornings of each week, as was her
custom during the season. of or of hav-
ing no reception day, as at present
she replied without moments hesita-
ton in favor of the former. As it now
is. rarely an honr passes without some
one tapping at Mrs Cleveland's door
bearing card or urgent request that
she grant an interview to party of
strangers just on the eve of departure.
And it rarely happens that the appeal
is in vain. for, however interested she
may be in book or occupation of any
sort. she at once lays it aside. sacrific-
ing her own pleasure without a demur.

THE STATES ANNIVERSARY.
An Interesting Observance by the Boys at
the Plainfeld Reform School,

The seventy first anniversary of the admis-
sion of Indiana into the Union was celebrated
at the Reform School at Plainfield Saturday
night by very interesting historical entertain
ment. Besides the directors of the institution
and Colonel Blake, quite number of people
from Plainfeld and vicinity were present. The
entertainment was begun by the boys singing a
number of patriotic songs, under the leadership
of Chaplain Blake. Superintendent Charlton
then reviewed infinitely the history of the
Northwest Territory. He told the boys how the
Indians lived, and related in a simple manner
the contest between the several European ma
tons for the possession of the valuable country
of which Indiana part.
Lewis Jordan, in his remarks, began with the
admission of the State into the Union in 1916
and brought forth its history to the civil war.
He related many interesting historical facts
and fixed then upon the minds of his young
listeners by telling numerous amusing stories.
He showed how the laws for the prevention of
circumstances schools were first established in
the State.
A. G. Cox followed with some very interesting
and amusing stories relating to the early history
of the State. after which Chaplain Blake began
with the civil war. and brought the history
down to the present day His talk was full of
interesting facts. After reviewing the causes
and results of the war. and impressing upon the
boys the principle for which the Union soldiers
fought, he gave them some information regard
ing the natural resources of the State. showing
that it was of which they should be proud
and help make greater by becoming honest hon

THE FREE ROAD SYSTEM.
How the Farmers Are Reducing the Revenues
on the Turnpike Companies.

To!-roads in Marion county divide the mileage
The latter has little advantage which is
being increased much that it is expected all
the roads, with but few exceptions, will be free
within the next few years. 1t is said that even
the turnpikes mostly used barely pay expenses.
and that they would not be able to bring in
enough money for that purpose if the owners
had to pay much for labor and haul
ing in making repairs others do.
A brick maker remarked recently that it
cost him 81 per team to have his bricks
hauled, but turnpike men get teams for half
that sum. The reason for this is that repairs
on the roads are made when farmers having
very little to do, are glad to haul gravel for
what the road owners will pay. OF late years
the farmers of neighborhood combine and
petition the County Commissioners for permis-
sion to make free road. When it IS completed
at very little cost it is turned over to the
county. After a while they may extend it at
their own cost, and in turn place this portion
under the control of the County Commissioners.
Again, there Is not a turnpike company in the
county that is not being outwitted oy short cross
roads. which start little short of a toll gate
and cutting through farms intersect another
toll pike where a free entrance to the city can
be had. The whole county is being provided
with these cross roads and they seriously
affecting the business of the toll system. The
only recourse is for the gravel road companies
to abandon their property or to turn IL
formally to the county gift. it cannot be
purchased by the commissioners. question

OCCUPANTS OF THE NEW CAPITOL.
Nearly All of the State officers Are Pleased

The new Capitol is beginning to assume an in

location for nearly year, the Secretary Of
State State Board of Agriculture, Adjutant-

move in to-day. The State Geologist is packing
up, and the other officers have begun prepara-
tons 1t appears probable that the State Lii
brarian will be the last to go, as the furniture
for the library has only begun to come. Sew
eral OF the officers did not like rooms so large as

greater number of them. In consequence par

THE CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.
The Beer Festivals for Charitable Purposes
The Speakers No Longer Talk of Revenge.

CHICAGO Dec. 1L-Three more of the series
of entertainments for the benefit of the families
of the dead and imprisoned Anarchists were
given this afternoon and evening. One was
held in Yorndorfs Hall, in the far northern part
Of the city, another at Germania Hall, at the
opposite extremity of Chicago, and the third in
Vorwoert's Hail. about midway between. Beer
and tobacco smoke were the most notable feat
of the entertainments, the greater part of
the time Each of the three halls were crowded
with men, women and children, majority of
them Germans, and many of them evidently re-
cent arrivals in America 1t was noticed In
Vorwoert's Hall that the Marseillaise was
greeted with loud cheers and roars of 'bravos.' y
but the "Star-spangied Banner" played
through by the band without chirp of applause
from the audience. Captain Black and the
Turner, John Gloy read speeches, or. more
properly, ESSAYS. That by Captain Black was
in the nature of tribute to music He did not
refer to his onetime clients at ALL except vague

say: However great your courage, however
strong your faith, you Titans. The
heavens cannot be stormed by violence, and if
you try it, notwithstanding, you will, like your
examples in Greek mythology, be hurled into
Tartarus. Never forget the lesson purchased
with the blood of your fellow-citizens and paid

as it merits it, cannot be blown up with dyna-

lightenment and organization, accommodating

Another change in the programme for the
final obsequles of the dead Anarchists is
nounced this evening. The burial, il is now
understood, will occur next Sunday at VALID
helm, where the bodies at present rest. A
meeting tomorrow night will arrange the de-
